Great Job! Zoo Veterinarian

Great Job! Zoo Veterinarian


Dr. Mike Selig
Veterinarian, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo

Dr. Selig talks about his job as a zoo veterinarian, his responsibilities and duties, as well as the training and formal education he received at the Ohio State University. We will follow the doctor throughout a typical day as he works with both keepers and veterinary assistants to treat the hundreds of species in his care. Two of the highlights of his round will be a routine checkup of a sloth and a physical examination of an elephant. Wait a minute… science, technology, engineering and math… at the zoo? You bet!

    This is one of my dream jobs, but I also want to help and rescue animals like farm animals, wild animals, and normal everyday pets.

    this is also my dream job although I’m only a freshmen in high school and there are no zoos near where I love so lately I’ve been helping out my local vet and it’s the best 🙂
